Maintenance and CareTo get the best service from a battery:• Keep it securely mounted.
• Keep the top clean and dry.
• Keep terminals and connec- tions clean, tight, and coated
with petroleum jelly or terminal
grease.
• Rinse off spilled electrolyte immediately with a solution of
water and baking soda.
• If the vehicle will not be used for an extended time, disconnect the
battery cables and charge the battery every six weeks.
Contact your Toyota dealer for a battery replacement purchase.
WARNING
■ Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do
not allow metal tools to contact the positive (+) or negative (-) terminal
of the battery when working near a ba ttery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body
Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas,
produced during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the bat-
tery to explode. An exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries.
Keep all flames including cigarettes and sparks away from open battery
cells.

If Trouble Arises
Jump-Starting
Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the proce-
dure carefully. If you feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly rec-
ommend that you have a competent service technician do the work.Remove the battery cover.
Make sure the booster battery is 12 V and that its negative terminal
is grounded.
If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow both vehi-
cles to touch. Turn off the engine of the vehicle with the booster bat-
tery and all unnecessary electrical loads in both vehicles.

6-6. Emergency Towing
Towing Description
A towed vehicle usually should
have its drive wheels (front
wheels) off the ground. If exces-
sive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels
on the ground, release the parking
brake.
We recommend that towing be done only by your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
Wheel dollies
NOTICE
●Do not tow the vehicle pointed back-
ward with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
● Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Uniform Tire Quality Grading System
(UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed by the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for grading tires
by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance.
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use, however, and may d epart significantly from the norm
because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete . A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Tread Wear
Traction-AA, A, B, C
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include acceleration cornering (turn-
ing), hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important maintenance points:
Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top han-
dling, and minimum tire wear. Use the pressures specified on the
vehicle tire information placard or tire label for optimum service.
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-
ally caused by one or a combination of the following:
• Incorrect tire pressure
• Improper wheel alignment
• Out-of-balance wheel
• Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification ( →P. 558) and
inspect the lug nu ts for tightness.
Tire Inflation Pressure
Tire Rotation
Do not include
(TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.
Forward
NOTICE
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical
tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be weakened if rotated from side to side.
